Still Counting My Blessings

Life can become busy at times. And no, I've not been hiding. I've been moving ...still.

There are only two weeks left in the school year so it's a very busy time. I've missed blogging and visiting my blogging friends.

But there have been many blessings to share.

My niece Kristin and her husband had a baby girl named Kenzie. She is my great niece and she's adorable.

Have I mentioned that I love babies? I can't wait to hold her. These are the times when I wish I didn't live so far away.

My Aunt Ruth celebrated her 75th birthday on Saturday. My Uncle Bob bought me a plane ticket to come and visit her in June. That was her birthday gift and she told me how excited she was when she opened her card. It's so nice to feel loved. I am looking forward to three days in California with my aunt. And she's not far from Santa Monica, which is one of my favorite places. :)

I hope to be back blogging as I already finished many end of year photo books. I love taking photographs and it comes in handy when creating gifts. But I couldn't believe how many photos I've taken this year and I wanted to choose the best.

I continue to count my every day blessings as I link up with Ann of A Holy Experience for Multitudes on Mondays.

Kenzie is a beautiful baby. I know you are looking forward to seeing her.

Speaking of traveling...I will be coming close to you this weekend. I'm flying to Tucson for a conference. Arrive on Sunday, leave on Thursday. I realize that is still an hour or so from Phoenix, but it would sure be nice to meet in person some day.

The new baby is just adorable! How excited you must be to hold her and kiss those sweet little cheeks. A trip to California sounds fun... You've had such a good year with all your little students..what a great teacher to put together photo books for them. Hope you have a good week! HUGS

What wonderful blessings; Kenzie is adorable, and I am so excited for your trip to CA to visit your Aunt (what a great gift!) I can only imagine the feeling of peace and contentment as the move is finally winding down and as you approach a well needed summer break!

Dear Debbie,That really brought tears to my eyes; your uncle giving You in birthday present for your aunt. That sure will become a blessed meeting blossoming from so much love.I can't wait to see the pictures from your trip to California.Knowing you like I do by now, I also am sure you will pass that love further to your grand niece.She's lucky to be related to you.With so much love going around, I'm sure your moving must be wrapped in God's eternal love too.May he bless your coming and going from now and ever on.

It has been a while since I have been in the blogging world due to some major personal illness and now a family crisis as well. However, that being said, I know that God has directed me to your site today for it has filled me with encouragement and hope.
